As we approach midnight in the UK, here’s a roundup of today’s developments in the Conservative party leadership contest.
Rishi Sunak reportedly has the backing of the 100 MPs needed to go through in the race. He is yet to formally declare his candidacy, and the Guardian’s count has him on 88 MPs, but Tobias Ellwood claimed that he had helped the former chancellor cross the threshold.
Among Sunak’s backers to declare on Friday were Matt Hancock, Tom Tugendhat and Sajid Javid.
Boris Johnson is on his way back from a holiday in the Dominican Republic, as he trails Sunak. The former prime minister has already secured the backing of six cabinet ministers, including Jacob Rees-Mogg.
Johnson was reportedly booed as he boarded the plane home, according to Sky News. He will land at London Gatwick at 9.30am on Saturday.
A Johnson-supporting MP has said Johnson told him he is “up for it” and will fly back to the UK from his Caribbean holiday to stand in the Tory leadership contest.
Lord William Hague, the former Conservative party leader, has said that Johnson’s election would send the party into a “death spiral”.
Former Daily Telegraph editor and biographer of Margaret Thatcher, Lord Charles Moore, who is an ally of Johnson has urged him not to run in the contest and “sit this one out”.
Penny Mordaunt officially launched her leadership bid, saying she had been “encouraged by support from colleagues who want a fresh start, a united party and leadership in the national interest.”
Polling by Opinium suggests that Sunak will beat Mordaunt and Johnson in a leadership contest, and that Mordaunt will also beat Johnson.
Here’s our night lead – as Johnson heads back to the UK and momentum continues to build behind Sunak. If you’re struggling to sleep in the small hours of the morning, you can always follow Johnson’s British Airways flight home.
